本研究は、デジタルツイン技術を導入したロッテルダム港とハンブルク港のサステナビリティ報告書等のテキスト分析を通じ、サイバーセキュリティとナレッジマネジメント（KM）の開示実態を比較。自然言語処理ツールLeximancerを用いた自動テーマ抽出と手動コーディングを組み合わせ、港湾間で開示の範囲と深さに顕著な相違があることを示した。特に、一方の港湾はサイバーセキュリティを運用上の安全策として主に開示するのに対し、他方はデータ駆動型意思決定やネットゼロ目標に関連づけたKM志向のガバナンス開示を行う点が明らかになった。
English
This study analyzes sustainability disclosures of two European ports (Rotterdam and Hamburg) that have implemented digital twin (DT) technology. Using automated thematic extraction via Leximancer and manual coding of 36 documents (sustainability reports, DT roadmaps, innovation strategies, 2020-2024), it compares how ports disclose cybersecurity and knowledge management (KM) practices. Findings reveal significant heterogeneity: one port frames cybersecurity as an operational safeguard, while the other links cybersecurity to broader KM-oriented governance practices tied to data-driven decision-making and net-zero targets.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
本論文は、欧州主要港湾のDT（デジタルツイン）導入に伴うサイバーセキュリティとKMの開示実態を比較。日本でもSSBJ対応や港湾のスマート化が進む中、非財務情報としてのセキュリティ開示とネットゼロ目標の連携を示す事例として参考になる。
In the global GX context
This paper provides empirical evidence on how leading European ports disclose cybersecurity and knowledge management within digital twin environments, linking to net-zero targets. It informs global disclosure frameworks (ISSB, TCFD) about the integration of cybersecurity governance into sustainability reporting, particularly for infrastructure sectors.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:The study offers a novel comparative method combining automated text analysis and manual coding for port sustainability disclosures, revealing heterogeneity in cybersecurity and KM reporting.
🏢実務担当者:Port operators and sustainability teams can benchmark their own cybersecurity and KM disclosures against the practices of Rotterdam and Hamburg, especially in linking to net-zero targets.
🏛政策担当者:Regulators in maritime and disclosure standards bodies can note the need for more consistent cybersecurity disclosure guidelines in the context of digital twin adoption and net-zero commitments.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Purpose This study aims to investigate how European ports disclose cybersecurity governance and knowledge management (KM) practices within digital twin (DT) technology environments as part of broader operational resilience and net-zero greenhouse gas emissions reduction. Design/methodology/approach This study uses qualitative content analysis of publicly available non-financial disclosures to investigate two leading European ports, i.e. Rotterdam and Hamburg, that have fully implemented the DT adoption process. Based on 36 documents (sustainability reports, DT roadmaps and innovation strategies) published between 2020 and 2024, the analysis focuses on cybersecurity and KM practices disclosed to stakeholders. By combining automated thematic extraction through Leximancer (Version 5) with manual interpretive coding, the study offers novel insights into how ports publicly frame and disclose DT-related cybersecurity and KM practices, contributing to both theory and practice in maritime digitalization. Findings Results reveal significant heterogeneity in the scope and depth of cybersecurity and KM disclosures among ports operating within DT frameworks. One port predominantly frames cybersecurity as an operational safeguard, while the other discloses cybersecurity within broader KM-oriented governance practices associated with data-driven decision-making and net-zero emission targets. Originality/value This study responds to limited research examining the intersection of cybersecurity, KM and DT in port digitalization, particularly through the lens of stakeholder-oriented disclosure. By adopting a comparative case study approach focused on official reporting, it offers novel insights into how ports construct legitimacy and accountability around secure knowledge flows publicly linked to environmental objectives. The results contribute to theory by bridging cybersecurity governance, KM and sustainability disclosure within DT-enabled infrastructures.
